Yes, osql -? gives the list of parameters, but isn't there some way to
interactively get help on each parameter?

have their F1 help linked into topics in the Books Online, but not the
command prompt utilities. You get the short list from the utility itself if
you use the /? switch, and you get the more in-depth help from the Books
Online osql reference topic, either online in the MSDN Library or your local
copy.
